Troy (Asia Minor), also Ilium (ancient Ilion), famous city of Greek legend, on the northwestern corner of Asia Minor, in present-day Turkey. The legendary founder of the city was Ilus, the son of Tros, from whom the name Troy was derived. The son and successor of Ilus was Laomedon, who was slain by the hero Hercules, when Hercules captured the city. It was during the reign of Laomedon's son Priam that the famous Trojan War occurred, which resulted in the capture and destruction of the city.

Laomedon , in Greek mythology, king of Troy. When Laomedon failed to pay Poseidon, Apollo, and King Aeacus for building the walls of Troy, Poseidon sent a sea monster to ravage the land. Total catastrophe could be averted only by the sacrifice of Laomedon's daughter, Hesione. Laomedon offered Hercules a pair of immortal horses if he would rescue his daughter. Hercules slew the sea monster and saved Hesione but Laomedon refused to give him the horses. In revenge, Hercules sacked Troy and killed Laomedon and all his sons except Priam, who became the new king of Troy.

In Greek mythology, Laomedon was a Trojan king, son of Ilus, brother of Ganymedes and father of Priam, Astyoche, Lampus, Hicetaon, Clytius, Cilla, Proclia, Aethilla, Clytodora, and Hesione. Tithonus is also described by most sources as Laomedon's eldest legitimate son; and most sources omit Ganymedes from the list of Laomedon's children, but indicate him as his uncle instead. Laomedon's two wives are Strymo (or Rhoeo) and Leucippe; by the former he begot Tithonus and by the latter King Priam (see John Tzetzes' Scholia in Lycophronem 18 («ὁ μὲν γὰρ Πρίαμος ἦν Λευκίππης, ὁ δὲ Τιθωνὸς Ῥοιοῦς ἢ Στρυμοῦς τῆς Σκαμάνδρου θυγατρὸς υἱός»)). He also had a son named Bucolion by the nymph Abarbarea, as recounted by Homer in the Iliad (6.22).

Laomedon owned several horses with divine parentage, with whom Anchises secretly bred his own mares.

According to one story, Laomedon's son, Ganymedes, was kidnapped by Zeus, who had fallen in love with the beautiful boy. Laomedon grieved for his son. Sympathetic, Zeus sent Hermes with two horses so swift they could run over water. Hermes also assured Laomedon that Ganymedes was immortal and would be the cupbearer for the gods, a position of much distinction. However, Ganymedes is more usually described as a son of Tros, an earlier King of Troy and grandfather of Laomedon. Laomedon himself was son of Ilus, son of Tros.

Poseidon and Apollo, having offended Zeus, were sent to serve King Laomedon. He had them build huge walls around the city and promised to reward them well, a promise he then refused to fulfill. In vengeance, before the Trojan War, Poseidon sent a sea monster to attack Troy.

Laomedon planned on sacrificing his daughter Hesione to Poseidon in the hope of appeasing him. Heracles (along with Oicles and Telamon) rescued her at the last minute and killed the monster. Laomedon had promised them the magic horses as a reward for their deeds, but when he broke his word, Heracles and his allies took vengeance by putting Troy to siege, killing Laomedon and all his sons save Podarces, who saved his own life by giving Heracles a golden veil Hesione had made (and therefore was afterwards called Priam, from priamai 'to buy'). Telamon took Hesione as a war prize and married her; they had a son, Teucer.

When Laomedon 1 was king of Troy, Apollo and Poseidon decided to put him to the test. Assuming the likeness of mortal men, the two gods undertook to fortify Troy for wages. But when the work was done, King Laomedon 1 would not pay their wages. So Apollo sent a pestilence, and Poseidon sent a sea-monster that snatched away the people of the plain. The oracles foretold deliverance from these calamities if Laomedon 1 would expose his daughter Hesione 2 to be devoured by the sea-monster. So he, more obedient of this oracle than of his agreement with the gods, exposed Hesione 2 to the monster by fastening her to the rocks near the sea. When Heracles 1 saw her exposed, he promised to save her on condition of receiving from Laomedon 1 the mares which Zeus had given in compensation for the rape of Ganymedes . Once again Laomedon 1 promised to pay for the service, and Heracles 1 killed the monster and saved Hesione 2 . But when this was accomplished, Laomedon 1 would not give the agreed reward.

For this reason, Heracles 1 made war on Troy one generation before the well known Trojan War . This attack on Troy, Heracles 1 did it in conjunction with, among others, Telamon, father of Ajax 1 .Heracles 1 deployed eighteen ships with fifty oars each, that is, an insignificant fleet compared to the one that sailed against Troy one generation after [see ACHAEAN LEADERS for details about this fleet]. After some fight, the town was besieged, and shortly after Telamon, who was the first to breach in the wall, entered the city. After him came Heracles 1 , who killed Laomedon 1 and his sons except for young Priam 1, who was then appointed king of Troy. The king's daughter Hesione 2 was given to Telamon as a prize. Hesione 2 is mother of Teucer 1, who became leader of the Salaminians against Troy one generation after.

Laomedan [From Greek Lore]

The son of Ilus, king of Troy. Apollo and Poseidon were assigned to him as laborers by Zeus and they helped build the walls. He refused to pay them and a sea monster was sent to devour his daughter Hesione. She was rescued by Heracles but Laomedan refused to give him the reward. Heracles later returned and killed Laomedan and all his son's save Podarces (later known as Priam).

http://www.sulkyblue.co.uk/classics/encyc/l.html

Laomedon () was the son of Ilus, the founder of Troy, and of Eurydice. Laomedon became king of Ilium (Troy), after his father's death.

The new king married Strymo, Placia or Leucippe. Whichever woman he married, he was the father of Podarces (Priam) and many other sons. He had at least one daughter, Hesione. His son Tithonus was abducted by Eos, goddess of dawn, and taken to Ethiopia or Syria. The goddess bore him a son Memnon.

Laomedon was known as the king, for his arrogance and his impiety, and who refused to honors his promises.

Poseidon and Apollo, possibly punished for rebelling against Zeus, had to work for one year for a mortal. The two gods disguised as builders, and they were hired to work alongside with a mortal, Aeacus, son of Zeus and Aegina, (father of Peleus and Telamon), to build the walls of Troy. Poseidon and Apollo wanted the vine of gold as payment for their work. Laomedon agreed.

The walls built by Poseidon and Apollo were impregnable, while those built by Aeacus were not. The Scaean Gates were the main entrance to Troy; it was here that Paris (with Apollo's help) had mortally wounded Achilles.

After the gods finished building the wall, Laomedon refused to pay their wages for their services. Apollo caused the plague within the city, while Poseidon sends a sea-monster to ravage the Trojan countryside.

The seers told Laomedon, that land would be spare, if the king would sacrifice his daughter to the sea-monster. Chaining his daughter, Hesione, to a rock and waited for monster to arrive.

Returning from performing the ninth labour (fetching the girdle of Hippolyte), Heracles stopped at Troy. Learning what was about to happen, Heracles wanted Laomedon's immortal horses in exchange for rescuing his daughter. Laomedon agreed. After killing the monster, again Laomedon refused to pay. Heracles angry at the Trojan king betrayal on his promise, planned to return with an army, after he finished performing the twelve labours.

Heracles raised an army in Tiryns, and the Argonaut hero, Telamon of Salamis, son of Aeacus, joined the hero. After capturing the city, Laomedon was killed, along with many of his sons, and Heracles gave Heisone to Telamon as concubine.

Heracles allowed Hesione to ransomed one captive. Hesione ransomed her youngest brother Podarces, offering her veil as ransom. Podarces became king of Troy, and changed his name to Priam, which means "Ransom". Priam was also Troy's last king.

Title: The Line of Dardanus. In Descent from Adam.

Fortellingen om trojanerne begynte først i myter og legender. Gresk mytologi sier at trojanerne var de opprinnelige borgerne i byen Troja i Troas-regionen i Anatolia (nå Tyrkia). Troja ligger i Asia, men byen presenteres i legenden som del av den greske kulturen med bystater. Troja ble kjent for sine rikdommer som de fikk fra handel med øst og vest, fine klær, jernproduksjon og massive defensive murer.

Den trojanske kongefamilien startet med Elektra og Zevs, foreldrene til Dardanos. Dardanos var ifølge greske myter opprinnelig fra Arkadia, men ifølge romerske myter var han opprinnelig fra Italia, krysset over til Lille-Asia fra øya Samotrake hvor han møtte kong Teukros. Teukros var selv kolonist fra Attika og behandlet Dardanos med respekt. Til slutt giftet Dardanos seg med Teukros' døtre og grunnla Dardania som sener ble styrt av Aineias. Da Dardanos døde gikk kongedømmet videre til hans barnebarn Tros som kalte folket trojanere og landet Troas etter seg selv. Ilos, sønn av Tros, grunnla byen Ilium som han oppkalte etter seg selv. Zevs gav Ilos Palladium. Poseidon og Apollon bygget murene og befestningene rundt Troja for Laomedon, sønn av Ilos den yngre. Da Laomedon nektet å betale, oversvømmet Poseidon landet og krevde at Hesione skulle ofres til sjøuhyre. Pestilense kom og sjøuhyret tok menneskene på sletten.

En generasjon før Trojanerkrigen erobret Herakles Troja og drepte Laomedon og hans sønner, med unntak av den unge Priam. Priam ble senere konge. Under hans styre invaderte de mykenske grekerne og erobret Troja i Trojanerkrigen, tradisjonelt datert til 1193–1183 f.Kr. maksyanerne var en vestlig libyisk stamme som sa at de var etterkommere av mennene fra Troja, ifølge Herodot. De trojanske skipene forandret seg til najader som gledet seg over å se ødeleggelsen av Odyssevs' skip.

Trojansk styre i Lille-Asia ble erstattet av herakleide-dynastiet i Sardis som hersket i 505 år frem til Kandaules. jonerne, kimmererne, frygierne, miletene fra Sinope og lydierne flyttet inn i Lille-Asia. Persia invaderte i 546 f.Kr.

Fjellet Ida i Lille-Asia er stedet hvor Gamymede ble bortført av Zevs, Ankises ble forført av Afrodite, Afrodite fødte Aineias, Paris levde som hyrde, nymfene bodde, «dømmingen av Paris» fant sted, de greske gudene så på Trojanerkrigen, Hera distraherte Zevs med sin forførelse lenge nok til at akhaiene, hjulpet av Poseidon, kunne holde trojanerne borte fra sine skip og hvor Aineias og hans tilhengere hvilte og ventet til grekerne satte av gårde til Hellas. Alteret til Panomfean (kilden til alle orakler) ble dedikert til Jupiter (Tonatos) nær Troja. Buthrotos (eller Buthrotum) var en by i Epiros hvor Helenos, den trojanske seeren, bygget en kopi av Troja. Aineias landet der og Helenos forutså hans fremtid.

Den antika staden Troja (grekiska Troia eller Ilion,lat. Troia eller Ilium, turkiska Truva) är en arkeologisk plats i nordvästra Turkiet vid Dardanellerna vid Hisarlik nära staden Çanakkale.

Platsen upptogs på UNESCO:s världsarvslista 1998.

Historia  [redigera]

Staden är känd från Homeros epos Iliaden och Odysséen.

Troja var enligt den grekiska mytologin huvudstad i Dardanien som etablerades av kung Dardanus.

Senare forskning har kunnat knyta namnet Ilion till det historiska namnet Wilusa, och man antar idag att det är samma stat som avses. Wilusa är omnämnd i hettitiska texter. Man antar därför att det språk som ursprungligen talades i Troja var luviska snarare än grekiska. Söder om Troja låg under den sena bronsåldern landet Arzawa. Det är möjligt att Homeros skildring av det trojanska kriget har sin historiska bakgrund i de strider som förekom mellan staterna utmed den egeiska kusten omkring 1300-1200 f.Kr. vilka även drog in det historiska Troja (se Hettiterriket).

Staden  [redigera]

Runt år 1865 återupptäcktes den antika staden av den brittiske arkeologen Frank Calvert som gjorde utgrävningar i ruinhögen vid Hisarlik. Identifieringen av Hisarlik som det homeriska Troja blev känd genom den tyska arkeologen Heinrich Schliemann, som trodde sig ha funnit Priamos skatt under sina grävningar där. Området visar spår från 9 olika byggperioder.

for their work. Laomedon agreed. A fter the gods finished building the

wall, Laomedon refused to pay their wages for their services. Apollo

ravage the Trojan countryside.

Learning what was about to happen, Heracles wanted La omedon's immortal

horses in exchange for rescuing his daughter. Laomedon agre ed. After

According to some Ilus's wife was Eurydice, and according to others Leucippe. By either of them Ilus had a son Laomedon, who became king of Troy after him. When Laomedon was king of Troy Apollo and Poseidon decided to put him to the test and, assuming the likeness of mortal men, undertook to fortify Troy for wages. But when the work was done, King Laomedon would not pay their wages. So Apollo sent a pestilence, and Poseidon sent a sea-monster, which snatched away the people of the plain. The oracles foretold deliverance from these calamities if King Laomedon would expose his daughter Hesione to be devoured by the sea-monster. So he, more obedient of this oracle than of his agreement with the gods, exposed Hesione to the monster by fastening her to the rocks near the sea. When Heracles saw her exposed, he promised to save her on condition of receiving from Laomedon the mares which Zeus had given in compensation for the rape of Ganymedes. Once again Laomedon promised to pay for the service and Heracles killed the monster and saved Hesione. But when this was done Laomedon would not give the agreed reward.

For this reason Heracles made war on Troy one generation before the well known Trojan War. This attack on Troy Heracles did it in conjunction with Telamon, father of Ajax, among others. For this expedition Heracles deployed eighteen ships with fifty oars each, that is an insignificant fleet compared with the one which sailed against Troy one generation after. After some fight the town was besieged and shortly after Telamon, who was the first to breach in the wall, entered the city and after him came Heracles. Heracles killed King Laomedon and his sons except for young Priam, who became then king of Troy. The king's daughter Hesione was given to Telamon as a prize. Hesione is mother then of Teucer, called Telamon's bastard son, who became leader of the Salaminians against Troy one generation after.

The parents of Strymo, Laomedon's wife, was Scamander, the River God and Idaea, a nymph. Strymo was a sister to King Tuecer, the mother of Batia.

Лаомедон

(Laomedon, Λαομέδων). Отец Приама, царь Трои, у которого работали Посейдон и Аполлон, изгнанные с Олимпа. Посейдон построил валы Трои, а Аполлон пас стада Лаомедона. Когда Лаомедон отказался выдать богам условленную награду, то Посейдон послал в его страну морское чудовище, а Аполлон — чуму. Геркулес убил чудовище, которое хотело поглотить дочь царя Гезиону, а затем и самого Лаомедона.(Источник: «Краткий словарь мифологии и древностей». М.Корш. Санкт-Петербург, издание А. С. Суворина, 1894.)
